Seems to me the Ferry is an 1800's concept# closed often , Is a Bridge a non negotiable ? A bridge & toll seem's a better Idea.

Don't be silly. People won't use a toll bridge.

That bridge idea became a parking structure way back in the 60s.

really needs discussed, would it be beneficial ? likely traffic would increase, how much time would it save going across the bridge verse's long way around ? not silly to open different avenues of pro's and con's?
Time to get the old bucket out of the water ?

I love the Wheatland Ferry. It has character. We as a nation are very quick to discard pieces of the past with personality.

I like to go lay out in the sun at the ferry, and watch it go back and forth (yes, I'm easily entertained!) I don't want to watch cars drive over a bridge.....boringgggg.... :) I agree, it adds character!
